[Saba Sports News] Draymond Green seems to have gotten his wish. The Minnesota Timberwolves were eliminated from the playoffs on Thursday with a 124-103 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. Green, part of TNT’s studio crew for the series, was notably absent from Game 5 in Minnesota.
Green commented on the blowout on X (formerly Twitter) late Thursday night, writing, “WiFi just came on, on my flight after a while in the air. OUCH!! lol wow.” This appeared to be thinly-veiled jubilation from Green, who had not been impartial during the series, taking swipes at Timberwolves fans and players, including Rudy Gobert, and giving tips to the Mavericks.
It was clear Green wanted the Mavericks to win, and while he got his wish, his remarks during the series reportedly drew ire from the Timberwolves.
